Finally!

I have been trying to get DD interested in solids since she was 6 months old.  Any attempts at purees ended with her blowing raspberries in them and not eating any.  I had been holding off on table food because DS would choke on everything (and I do mean choke).  Today I decided to try table food with her and she fed herself a couple of cucumber spears.  Also, she bit off a piece too big for her and instead of choking she gagged and spit it out! (after DS, that is such a relief!)

Awesome!! That must be a relief. DD still hates solids, she has kind of regressed. She liked them for a while, now she hates mealtime. The only things I can get her to eat are cheese sticks, and baby biscuits... but those are snacks

Sometimes when DS would regress in what foods he would eat, I would find ways to pair a favorite food with a new or less liked food.  For example, He loves beets so when he wouldn't eat sweet potatoes anymore, I started cooking the two together.  Now he devours both foods.

That's a great idea, wish I could cook up some biscuits with some peas lol... I tried putting puree on her teething biscuit but then she just hates her teething biscuit. I've thought about making homemade biscuits with oatmeal and something else. I'd really like to just get over the biscuit thing though.
